Horoscopes 1 – 7 January 2013

ARIES {Mar 21–Apr 20}
You’re going to thrive on a new sense of popularity as many more people are open to spending time in your company as are you in theirs. It’s all about ‘the mind’ and it’s therefore your brain you must employ in the pursuit of dreams. Follow what seems logical no matter how eccentric.

TAURUS {Apr 21–May 21}
News from abroad travels fast and in light of new realisations, your understanding of the world deepens. The possibility for transformation is now not something which you dread, but relish. There are finances available to support you.

GEMINI {May 22–June 21}
Grave letters or words may be spoken, but don’t shoot the messenger! Just as everything that twinkles isn’t always gold, so too can dusty old antiques be well worth their weight. Take the time to probe into important matters with patience.

CANCER {June 22–July 22}
A partner has something important they need to communicate with you, or perhaps you have been holding back for too long. To speak your truth may cause disruptions, but you have to be willing to face the music, in order to not betray your own soul.

LEO {July 23–Aug 22}
Are partners serious? Is there really any need for them to be right? If you have these thoughts, then you must ask if it is not your mind which has become poisoned by the standing waters. Being too inflexible is more than unagreeable, it’s boring, is it not? Go on, turn that frown on its head.

VIRGO {Aug 23–Sep 22}
Playing love games may well keep you occupied, amused and in control, but there are more productive uses of your prowess and creative flair. Remember words are like magic and being integral with your word will not compromise you or the trust others place in you.

LIBRA {Sep 23–Oct 22}
You’ve got a springy Joie de Vivre air about you as this week’s go-getting Mars helps you express the desires you are most passionate about. Don’t be on too much of a quest for perfection, as that’s a concept everyone could do without.

SCORPIO {Oct 23–Nov 21}
The short term picture might look a little like this: a gloomy frost-bitten dried up old shrubbery left for decay on the side of a dreary road. While it’s not the most glamorous act in the play, this current process is so essential. Think long term and daily nuances could turn magically fertile.

SAGITTARIUS {Nov 22–Dec 20}
You’ve taken on board some serious issues of late, it will be possible to earn more than a mere crust by becoming a messenger for some of life’s more challenging subjects. Depth psychology or occult sciences may appeal.

CAPRICORN {Dec 21–Jan 19}
If there’s something you want to get off your chest, why wait? Both quick-thinking Mercury and the expressive and fun-loving Sun are passing through your sign to help you firm up your personal sense of identity.

AQUARIUS {Jan 20–Feb 19}
What you have, others wish they had. Please don’t ask ‘What do I have?’ How very infuriating it will be for all your admirers. You have the kind of energy that can become inflamed by personal passions, so get busy or else you will feel terribly frustrated.

PISCES {Feb 20–Mar 20}
While finances and fortunes are on the turn under Uranus’s precarious influence, it can’t be predictable, but it can be interesting. Your love of shared knowledge could help you meet some business savvy people. An avalanche of existential thoughts will domino and possibly alter your values.
